Thanks, fellas.
Still waiting for the doom report from Thiery Laurent!
At least I am starting in the right direction. I got a great deal on it and I have always loved Revell and ESCI kits. Kind of a sucker that way I built it once and I remember the air intake fit into the fuse being fiddly.

I have two Mig-21 PF's by Revell. I am looking for aftermarket landing gear for it and wondering if the white metal ones for the Trumpy kit can be modified for it. One kit I bought on Ebay and it is missing a main gear strut. Besides, they look flimsy and under-scaled. I wanna do one as an NVA and one Syrian circa 73- 82.

First, I don't mind doing Old School Modeling. I usually can't afford all the aftermarket goodies. I just ordered the In Detail and Scale Book. I have come to rely on them. What I was looking for was input on it's fit and quality. Cockpit is sparse, but I see an empty canvas.
Who has built one?

I think I want too much to make every model a masterpiece. Fail at it. Get discouraged and shelf it. I had a conversation at the Nats regarding this and a fellow recommended just building a kit out of the box and focus on the basics of good construction and painting.
I also tend to rush things and learn again and again that that is how you F%$# things up. I went to the Nats seeking inspiration because as of late I thought about selling all my stuff and ceasing modeling altogether.
I found the inspiration, for sure and a lot of encouragement.
Believe it or not I bought ONE model. A Hasegawa F-16A in 32 scale. It was $30, I couldn't pass it up! I only brought $50 to spend so I didn't get any aftermarket stuff for it. At home I found a Verlinden ACES seat and some leftovers I traded for from a Academy '16. I might use the FLIR pods and do a Gulf war '16.
